Juneteeth parade closes part of Broadway from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

LORAIN -- Because of the Juneteenth parade in downtown Lorain starting at noon today, Broadway from Eighth street to Erie Avenue will be closed to traffic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Traffic will be detoured away from the parade route.

Traffic west off the Bascule Bridge will be rerouted around the back of Lorain City Hall and re-enter West Erie Avenue at Second Street.

The Juneteenth Festival, hosted by the Harrison Cultural Community Centre, forms on the east side of Eighth Street and Broadway and proceeds north on Broadway to Erie Avenue, then west to Washington Avenue, and ends at Washington Avenue and West Fourth Street.
